Lemma 73.9.5. Let S be a scheme, and let X be an algebraic space over S. Suppose that \mathcal{U} = \{ f_ i : X_ i \to X\} _{i \in I} is an fpqc covering of X. Then there exists a refinement \mathcal{V} = \{ g_ i : T_ i \to X\} of \mathcal{U} which is an fpqc covering such that each T_ i is a scheme.
Proof. Omitted. Hint: For each i choose a scheme T_ i and a surjective étale morphism T_ i \to X_ i. Then check that \{ T_ i \to X\} is an fpqc covering. \square
